Through the harsh wind I press on
Slow steps and careful footing
Steady and weak
I strive after your shadow far ahead
The leaves fall furious and dizzy all around me
The branches yelling an unkind warning
The path that lay ahead is obscure and dangerous
Yet I call back to them the necessity to bring a word to you
Cold and slow the tears burn my cheeks
As I walk ahead through this selfish storm
I fall behind and struggle to find you
Desperate to reach you
The word bleeding in the back of my throat
As I reach a shore the sinking sand grips my feet
And far I see your shadow trapped amongst the high angry waves
Your face happy and your body healed
The trees tug at my clothes and tear my skin harshly
The leaves tangle my hair as the wind clasps my wrists
Even the sands restrained my ankles enough to sink my toes
They warn me I cannot pursue you further
For you go where no one can follow
At last I can fight them no more so I scream to the sea
Goodbye
And hope you hear me
Slow steps and careful footing
Steady and weak
I strive after your shadow far ahead
The leaves fall furious and dizzy all around me
The branches yelling an unkind warning
The path that lay ahead is obscure and dangerous
Yet I call back to them the necessity to bring a word to you
Cold and slow the tears burn my cheeks
As I walk ahead through this selfish storm
I fall behind and struggle to find you
Desperate to reach you
The word bleeding in the back of my throat
As I reach a shore the sinking sand grips my feet
And far I see your shadow trapped amongst the high angry waves
Your face happy and your body healed
The trees tug at my clothes and tear my skin harshly
The leaves tangle my hair as the wind clasps my wrists
Even the sands restrained my ankles enough to sink my toes
They warn me I cannot pursue you further
For you go where no one can follow
At last I can fight them no more so I scream to the sea
Goodbye
And hope you hear me
